Emmanuel Adebayor last night described the moment of terror as he cowered with his Togo team-mates while terrorists raked their bus with bullets. “It was one of the worst experiences of my life,” he said minutes after the attack.

The Manchester City striker was trapped as separatist rebels fired machineguns at Togo players and officials travelling to their first match of the African Cup of Nations, which is due to start tomorrow. They had just crossed the border into Angola to head to Cabinda, a notorious terrorist stronghold, when the rebels struck.
